Gravity

Watching you sit in your chair, I get more and more puzzled. You are sitting there so incredibly comfortable, you seem to be weightless. What are you doing to the law of gravity?

There is no need to do anything with the law of gravity. Once you become meditative, a different law applies to you; the law of grace. You become available to a different world; the world of grace. Something goes on pulling you upwards. Just as gravitation pulls you downwards, something goes on pulling you upwards. No need to do anything with the law of gravitation. You have just to open a new door into your being from where the law of grace becomes available to you.

A few times recently I have felt that I could fly, felt curiously exonerated from gravity and looked with boredom on the 150 pounds' truth of my body. Is this just craziness...?

No. You are a meetingplace of two dimensions. One dimension belongs to the earth the dimension of gravity, which pulls you down -- that 150 pounds' truth of your body. Another dimension belongs to grace the dimension of God, the dimension of freedom, in which you can go on rising high and high and high and there is no weight in it. Meditating, this will happen. Many times in deep meditation you will suddenly become aware as if the gravitation has disappeared that now nothing holds you down, that it is now up to you to decide whether to fly or not, that now it is up to you -- if you want, you can simply fly into the sky... and the whole sky is yours. But when you will open the eyes, suddenly, the body is there, the earth is there, the gravitation is there. When you were with…

10. While being caressed, sweet princess, enter the caress as everlasting life.

Now you come every day with expectations, with a closed mind. It cannot happen. It always happens in an open mind; it always happens in a new situation. That doesn't mean that you have to change your situation daily, it only means: do not allow your mind to create a pattern. Then your wife will be new every day, your husband will be new every day. But do not allow the mind to create a pattern of expectations; do not allow the mind to move in the future. Then your master will be every day new, your friend will be every day new. And everything is new in the world except the mind. Mind is the only thing which is old.…

The key from thought to thoughtlessness is his Name. Let the melody of Omkar fill you. First, the chanting of Omkar. Rise early, or sit at night alone in the dark, and utter Omkar aloud so that its resonance surrounds you. Omkar carries a very sweet music, because it is the music of the infinite—it is not a man-made sound; it is the rhythm resounding in existence. As you chant aloud, its impression will be stamped on every hair of your body. This is the stage of japa—repetition. Then slowly close the lips and let Omkar resound inside as it was resounding outside. The lips will be closed, the tongue silent, the throat quiet—only an inner humming. This is the bridge between japa and ajapa. Let the inner humming grow, grow, grow. Inside, both doings: create the humming and listen to it. Then gradually stop creating and increase the listening.
